Remember the Kids Left in Cars Article?
The haunting one that I wish I never read...
I gave my 20 yr. old nanny a car seat today so that she drive my kid around from time to time.
We had a very stern talk this morning about never, ever leaving him alone in the car. But she's 20. And when I said "So, even if you're getting gas at the gas station, you may not leave him in the car while you run inside to pay." And she was like "Oh - really - ok - not even then..."
Anyway - I'm thinking about giving her a copy of the article. What do you think? Too much??

Honestly, I think you should give it to your nanny. I was a live-in nanny at 20 and I think that if I would have read something like that it would have scared me shiitless enough to never do something like that.

At my parent's cottage, there is a lady with a nearby cottage. Next door to said lady there was a fancy new proper lakehouse being constructed. Complete with plenty of construction workers from south of the border. We used to watch said lady try to shoot them with a paint ball gun. She must have thought they were intruders. Or nannies.
who still goes IN to pay for gas??
but really. I think Fent's approach is good, "look, this article scared me and I wanted to share it with you since you will be driving LO around in your car . . . "
dude
dude
I would give her the article to read.
I was shocked when I found out F left Ian in the car once to run into our neighborhood convenience store to get milk. He assured me he could see the car at all times, and was gone for less than two minutes, but still. No bueno.

Cali - at least you'll be protecting the kid from the weirdos who lurk inside malls, waiting to snatch your burrito the second your back is turned.

Sometimes I really wish I could just leave him in the car. I don't just run to the store because I need milk now. It's just too much hassle to load him in the car and drag him around the parking lot.
well, i still do that but I do it in the evenings when I get out of the house. I drive around with the windows down, the radio blasting and I alternate errands and fun stuff.
He totally asked for it.
I sort of laughed at the "very stern talking to" part of things.
I mean anyone I have to have a "very stern talking to" before babysitting would not be babysitting my kid.
me too. With the credit/debit card it wouldnt be an issue but for literally 2 seconds within eyesite to drop some cash on the counter and run out? Seems like it wouldnt be terrible.
